I am wearing dead girl panties!

Warning: Spoilers
Renae (Bouvier) who looks old enough to be a grandmother, inherits a nightclub from her grandfather. To make money she turns it into a lingerie club. Someone is killing off the models. Limited number of suspects.

The club is very small and they play crowd music to make it seem larger than the three customers we see in it. The camera and sound are not great and the acting is cheesy as are the lines.

Guide: No swearing or sex. Nudity (Sydney Ray-FF, Anjela Gotsulyak)

Sexploitation tribute or waste-of-time non-starter - you decide
Leofwine_draca10 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
CLUB LINGERIE is a dreadful would-be slasher film that goes absolutely nowhere. It seems to be an attempt to make a tribute to the sexploitation movies of the 1960s, but it doesn't look or feel like any of those movies. The only thing notable about the film is the colour of the footage and particularly the backgrounds, which is off and off-putting to boot. It gives the film an unpleasant, garish look which hurts the eyes.

The plot is virtually non-existent. A woman inherits a nightclub and decides to drum up patrons by having all of her workers dress in their lingerie. Eventually a mysterious killer offs a couple of them but you won't really care about that because it's obvious the director doesn't. This is a film that generally treads water from beginning to end, and is content to feature a number of actresses parading around in very little clothing, including, unfortunately, Bouvier, the main actress and a woman in her 60s.

Amateur film and that's been gernerous

OMG this film is so bad, its car crash movie making where no one can act and the continuity is non-exsistant. Though this movie does have it's place such as a drinking game or if you have had too many rollups. I wonder if the director thought hey lets get some nice looking models (yes they are stunning to be fair) and write some flimsy plot or make it up as we go and and employee actors who will be paid a share of the profits. I kid you not there is one scene where the club owner is obviously reading from queue cards, actors linger in a scene and then just un-naturally walk off the set. The only redeeming quality of this film is how bad it is as it's a complete mess, if you managed to stay the distance then there is even some sort of puppet that orally pleasures a transvestite guest of the club and a strange unknown character who pops up to sell flowers. It's like this hey i'm making a movie want to be in it, I can't pay you but i can give you a random walk on part !! .If you are out for titulation, then forget it as this film is clearly a hand held home made mess. Finally there is a murderer afoot well i wonder who that is, well you will find out with about 90 seconds of the films budget running out.

Criminally underrated cult classic in the making
tofucollins5 March 2024
I usually cringe at the phrase "cult classic in the making" or any implication similar to that in a movie review but I'm TELLING YOU ALL PLEASE go check out Jared's filmography. Especially if you are a fan of anything out of the box and need a fix of otherworldly mind melting cinema. To me Club Lingerie (out of the work I've seen of his) is the best example of his work. Filled to the brim with extremely quotable lines & laugh out loud situations. You can never prepare yourself for what Jared is going to throw at you! One minute you're sitting there thinking it can't get any better than this...then a T chaser puppet comes out of no where. Amazing stuff absolutely love you Jared.

Campy, Outrageous, and Fun!!
Richmvaguy22 February 2015
You can't look at this movie as the next "Citizen Kane." Sure, it's low budget. Yes, it doesn't take itself seriously. True, the performances weren't "Oscar worthy" (many scenes look like they were shot in one or two takes). But all of these things are part of the movie's charm. In fact, I wasn't expecting to like this movie as much as I did.

It has a slew of offbeat, eccentric characters, including: the "cult film goddess" Bouvier (the club's owner), a girl on skid row, an old dude on all fours getting whipped by a dominatrix, a hyper fire-and- brimstone preacher, a transvestite discoursing with a puppet/Muppet (it's random, but it works), a detective and a crime photographer that look like they were pulled out of a 40s film noir, and a plethora of hot girls in lingerie (one of my favorites--played by Sydney Raye-- has a tantalizing strip tease to make her abusive boyfriend jealous).

I was surprised that the "lingerie girls" had so much natural charisma on screen and were decent actresses. Yes, it's a "murder- mystery," but it's actually a laugh-out-loud comedy that's a nod to the sleazy "sexploitation" films of the 60s and 70s. It's a throwback to the type of movies that John Waters shot with Divine before he went "mainstream" (what he affectionately called his "Trash Trilogy"). It's not meant to be taken as a "serious, highbrow, big-budget movie." It's campy, exaggerated, fun, and outrageous. I thought it was a hoot!

I don't have anything better to do with my body tonight, might as well show it off.

Club Lingerie is a club where women can earn $50 a night by hanging out in lingerie. Except you'll also be proposition for sex for money by customers, and the also the owner arranges an auction for worn underwear?

I don't think retakes existed in the making of this, even when clearly reading from cue cards, various people flub their lines, repeat the correct one, and it all stays in the movie. Bits of the sets fall down or apart and I can't tell if it's deliberate or accidental.

This is just absolutely baffling. Like, it's dreadful, but it's also kinda hot, and weirdly entertaining? The tone shifts at the drop of a hat from sleazy titillation, to campy comedy, to murder mystery.

This feels like it shouldn't exist, and that no one should actually be able to watch it. It should only exist on a VHS tape in the home if the person that made it. I'm quite glad it does exist though.
